PGE has an in-house laboratory that conducts testing in support of site and soil characterization, and construction time quality control of the field works by the contractor. Generally, the following tests are performed in the laboratory following relevant latest ASTM methods.

 

• Index and Engineering Properties of Soils

• Sieve Analysis Test/Grain Size Analyses

• Minus #200 Sieve Test

• Hydrometer Test

• Atterberg Limits

• Textural Soil Classification

• Moisture Content

• Specific Gravity

• Organic Content

• Sand Equivalent

• Dust Ratio

• Standard/Modified Proctor tests

​

Our laboratory has necessary equipment and trained and experienced technician to run the tests. Currently, PGE is in the process expanding its laboratory testing capability mostly required in support of the geotechnical engineering recommendations such as the Direct Shear, Consolidation, Permeability, and other laboratory tests.
